MOGADISHU, SOMALIA — A group of 400 Somalis stranded on a desert shore after being expelled from Yemen have been supplied with food and water by U.N. refugee workers, U.N. officials said in Mogadishu on Sunday. The group, including many women and children, landed near Bosaso, on the Gulf of Aden, last week and survived on small quantities of food and water from local residents before the U.N. supplies arrived. The refugees said they were put aboard an overcrowded boat in the Yemeni port of Mukalla and spent several days at sea with little food and water before reaching Bosaso.
